The PM Ramadan Relief Package 2025 is a historic move by the government of Pakistan to reduce poverty during the blessed month. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s program is three times that of last year’s, giving PKR 5,000 to 4 million families across the country through effortless digital transactions. Punjab’s complementary scheme offers PKR 10,000 to 3 million families, using PSER statistics to ensure transparency.
Beneficiary families get immediate SMS alerts (through 9999) with payment information, leaving no bureaucratic obstacles in their way. Punjab dwellers have access through Alpha Pay and network agents at no cost. This initiative reflects the government’s zeal for “Haqooq-ul-Ibad” (public welfare), with no deserving family being left behind.
